Anything peculiar about adding freon to CRD? I am starting to suspect that on our vehicle any essential procedure requires either radical engine disassembly or even a surgery with reciprocating saw:)
Thanks again!

Yes, that is correct, it is the backside of the HVAC control switch!
As to adding freon: Best method is to have an AC shop remove all the freon, measure the amount and then replenish with the correct amount required for the system. Doing this also runs all the removed freon through a special filter to remove any foreign material.
Freon can be added to the low pressure suction side, but you must have gauges and be very experienced in reading them and knowing what the correct pressure requirements and limitations are based on the ambient air temperature passing through the condenser. If you don't have gauges and experience in using them, it is best left to a shop with the correct equipment and trained technicians....
